This is the first chapter of one of my stories. ENJOY.
The Junior Accountant
Thirty year old Jason Polimer awoke slowly, grumbling as he did. He turned over to the left side of his bed and slowly lowered his foot towards the tiled floor. His big toe touched the ground first and immediately his whole leg shot up. Curled under his old tattered blanket Jason quickly went over of all the things he would do today. It didn’t take long because Jason Polimer had been doing exactly the same thing everyday for eight painfully boring years. All emotions were rarely used expect for pain and sorrow, but Jason learned to cope without Happiness, although it was extremely necessary.
Eight years ago after Jason Polimer graduated from university. He had got his first job, and it was in one of the most unknown banks in New York. The Bank's difficult name just could stay in Jason's memory; all he knew was that it between the 23rd and 24th Avenue. Jason Polimer worked in accounting at the fifth floor of the tall building and never in his eight years in that building did he stop at the other 23 floors in it. His office was the seventh block at the first room in front of the elevator. He worked for exactly six hours a day with an hour lunch in between. He received a very reasonable salary; nevertheless he never used more than fifty dollars of it every month. His life was an awful routine.
Jason Polimer was an old child and had never seen his parents for twelve years, ever since he had left for university. He did have slight emotions to them at the first couple of months but then realized that their job was done, and now it was his. Jason was convinced that he had a role in his life and there was nothing he could do to change it, so he just let it be. He was always gliding at a steady pace, never trying his best or doing his worst. When Jason first started account he was appointed as junior accountant assistant, and was offered the spot junior accountant the next day after as the previous junior assistant was murdered. The only reason Jason was asked for the job was that everyone in the department refused to take the job.
Jason thought the reason was because they thought the job was hunted or cursed somehow, but actually they turned down the job because they knew their assistance would be Jason Polimer. Jason was considered the dullest and solemnest person in the building. He has never been awarded the employee of the month, never. The others in the offices made jokes about him but he showed not the slighted bit of embarrassment or annoyance.
Jason opened his eyes and noticed that he had dozed off for a bit curled under his blanket. He threw the blanket away from his face and fumbled for the lamp in the darkness. He clicked open the lamp and the squinted trying to make out what time it were from the clock. It became clearer after he put on his glasses and read seven O'clock. He calmly stood up, bathed, shaved, dressed and did everything possible a man can do to get ready for work. After triple checking he didn’t miss anything he when over to the right sight of the room where the kitchen was. Jason didn't think it was necessary to have a big apartment, he always said to people "One person, half a room". In fact, the last time Jason checked his bank account was the day he got the job. Whenever he would withdraw cash and got a receipt he would always ignore where it said his balance. Rumors spread around that he was a millionaire and he wasn’t aware of it, but Jason really didn’t get the point. He would always mock in his mind. A millionaire? It's not like I can buy a new pair of emotions?
In the kitchen Jason Polimer made a perfectly cooked piece of bacon and two delicious eggs. He let them sizzle for exactly one minute and thirty-two seconds on the dinner table before he slowly ate it, piece by piece. He felt the small pieces crawl down his esophagus and setting place in his stomach. For some people would enjoy that warm feeling, but he thought it was very unpleasant. When he was finally done he left the house and wrote his slightly rusty bicycle to work. It took ten minutes, and he reached there at nine sharp just before the senior accountant came to Jason's spotless desk. He started his work for a couple his seconds until the senior accountant passed by. Jason greeted the senior accountant ungratefully and continued with his work, but he was interrupted again. A beautiful medium built woman stood in front of him both a little worried and confused. Her hair was a soft brown color that was held back awkwardly with a clip, and her face was as innocent as an angel. A lock of her dark hair was drenched and seemed strange, but for Jason if was even sexier. She wore a slightly tight skirt to her knees and light pink blouse that was fabulous on her. She wasn’t the most attractive girl, but she was still beautiful.
Jason jaw was hanging as he stared at her for a few moments from head to toe. Suddenly he felt something soft and invisible pierce his back and a big iron ball plunge down his throat that landed at the pit of his stomach. He wasn’t sure what it was but he was positive it was an emotion. He sat there staring at the woman and caught a glimpse by the corner of his eye of a baby with wings holding a bow flying by. All I can say is this that this was the first time Jason Polimer had the slightest emotion similar to Love.
mwahahaha
